Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup spinach (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup carrot (grated)
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper (finely diced)
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (whole wheat, if preferred)
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
- 4 pieces burger buns (whole grain, if preferred)
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces sliced tomatoes
- 4 tbsp your preferred burger sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, grated carrot, diced red bell pepper, breadcrumbs, egg, and minced garlic.
Add the dijon mustard, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. You can use clean hands or a spoon to do this.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about ¾ inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Place the chicken patties in the pan and cook for 6–7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown on the outside and have an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns in a separate pan or under the broiler for a few minutes until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of your preferred burger sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add a piece of lettuce, followed by a cooked chicken patty, a slice of tomato, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vitamin-packed 'Vita B Chicken Burgers'!
